DESTACO 803-ME Pneumatic Straight Line Clamp, 145 PSIG, M8 Plunger Thread

Destaco 803-ME pneumatic straight line clamp, also known as pneumatic toggle clamp, uses straight line toggle clamping action ideal for fixturing & testing, welding and assembling applications in the metalworking, automotive and food & packaging industries. This pneumatic clamp employs compressed air to apply clamping pressure to hold workpieces in place and is equipped with a pneumatic cylinder with input port for connecting to a source of compressed air. The straight line clamp has a lever that can be engaged to apply pneumatic pressure to the clamping head and it allows economical use on short run jobs with temporary fixturing. This pneumatic toggle clamp also features inbuilt flow control for smooth operation and a magnetic piston ring for accurate position sensing. It can accommodate either T-slot (8EA-109-1) or round (810169) style sensors. Destaco 803-ME pneumatic toggle clamp has an ergonomic design that allows handling a maximum load of 600 lb (272.15 kg) at temperatures ranging from -14 degrees to Fahrenheit 195 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a pneumatic clamp?

A. Destaco pneumatic clamps are portable pneumatic toggle clamps ideal for fast clamping in continuous production operations.

Q. What is the function of pneumatic clamps?

A. Destaco pneumatic straight line clamps use air-actuated cylinders for temporary fixturing and are ideal for fast clamping in continuous production operations.

Q. What is a pneumatic toggle clamp?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps utilise compressed air rather than mechanical force for applying clamping force to hold workpieces in place. They get actuated with a double acting pneumatic cylinder.

Q. How does a pneumatic hold down toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.

Q. Does Destaco also supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed especially in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.
